I received an Adobe pdf scan of a document that displays upside-down. I rotated it inside Adobe Acrobat and choose Save-As to make a new document, however, the rotation is not saved and when I open the new document, it is upside-down again. How can I correct this upside-down document as a new pdf file?

You can open the PDF file in an Adobe app like Illustrator and then rotate in there. Then save as PDF and this should work. If you you don't have access to CS3 you may want to try open source PDF editing software. | |||

Another solution: rotate it, copy it all into Word and then save that document as a PDF. You have to change the Word document to have no margins before copying it over. | |||

on a mac you can go to the print menu and on the bottom left corner you can print a PDF of you document after you rotate it. It will create a new PDF with the new changes. In windows: go to www.ninite.com check off PDFCreator or CutePDF, and get the installer. It will create a PDF printer for you to select in the print dialogue, and when you print, it will prompt you with a save dialogue for a PDF file. | |||

While there are many commercial tools available which allow you to modify/rotate a PDF document and save the changes, you have to download and install the software -- too much of a hassle for a one-off kinda task such as this. Luckily, the fine folks at http://www.rotatepdf.net/ allow you to have your PDF file rotated online to a desired degree (90 clockwise/counterclockwise and 180 clockwise) online, for free. I just had this issue today and found the website. Once you specify the PDF you want to rotate and the degree of rotation, you click the "Rotate PDF" button. That uploads your PDF to thier servers and performs the requested rotation. Momentarily, you're greeted with a result page allowing you to view the result online or download the rotated PDF to your computer. While they say they remove the PDF after conversion and don't retain it on their servers, I'd not upload a sensitive document for conversion. | ||||

If you don't have the reading pane already up to do the option mentioned above, then you can just click Document-Rotate Pages . This should allow you to save the rotated view. | |||

You need to be working with a version of Acrobat that allows changes (i.e., not simply free reader). In the pages tab on the left, highlight the pages you want rotated (by left-clicking on them, use Ctrl to click on multiple pages), then right-click - Rotate Pages - 180 degrees. Then save. In Acrobat Pro, click on Document at the top, then Rotate Pages. Then save the document. Works perfectly. | ||||
